Inside the UK’s Biggest Old Skool Festival
Billed as the UK’s biggest and best ‘old skool’ live event, Reminisce brings more than 25,000 people together for a huge open-air, nostalgia-driven party. Now in its 12th year, the festival promises legendary artists, singalong anthems, and a high-energy experience at its home in Sherdley Park, St Helens.
oXyFire has led live production for the festival since 2017, matching the joy and energy of the crowd, not only for the big screens, but also translating the atmosphere for livestream audiences watching across the world. Alongside this, the team delivers standout social and highlight content designed to extend the experience beyond the event and drive early ticket demand year after year.
Bringing the party to the people
Our approach puts the audience at the centre of the show, because at Reminisce, the crowd is the core of the experience. We go beyond traditional stage coverage to capture the full festival atmosphere, even taking our ‘hat-cam’ into the crowd to create unexpected, immersive perspectives that bring the energy on the field straight onto the big screen.
By following the rhythm and momentum of each set, working closely with the artists and capturing real-time crowd reactions and shared moments we create an inclusive and joyful experience. Visuals are kept fresh and fast-paced to keep the crowd dancing all day long.
Reminisce continues to grow as one of the UK’s most distinctive festival experiences, with live production playing a central role in shaping its identity and amplifying the atmosphere long after the music stops. Highlights content has been a key driver in increased ticket demand year-on-year, helping to build anticipation and expand the brand into new formats, with complementary events including Reminisce Classical.
